Can we grow tomatoes successfully without spraying ? The answer is yes we can produce food without poisoning the soil, killing the living organisms and degrading the land. It's not too late to love more of our environment than profits and much produce. #gardening #environment #climatechange.

Today we had a tiresome but an amazing day that we spent in the garden preparing the land for the matured seedlings in the nursery bed. With more crops in the garden, we have hope of getting more empty stomachs filled. #gardening #environment #climatechange #food .

It has now been seven days since we planted these seedlings into the nursery bed . Seeing big plants grow from small seeds shows how rewarding nature is to those that take action. Even a small action can lead to something great. #gardening #nature #environment #climate #food.

Drought in our society has become so destroyed many farmer's months of hard work. One of the victims is MR. Kajuba Peter who depended on his crops to feed himself and his family. We seek for your support to get hi food for three months until he can be able to grow his own food again.

It's really heart breaking. There's a farmer that we have been supporting with seeds and raw materials to produce food for his children. When the drought came , It destroyed all the crops he had put into the soil and the ones that were already maturing. He now can't find food for his children.

The nearest water well has dried up . The remaining water wells are so far that it takes 45 minutes to draw water to our crops. Some vegetables are surviving while the tomatoes are drying up. We save them if we get enough vessels to collect water from the remaining wells before they dry up as well.

The crops in our community are drying up due to too much sunshine and water shortages while the same rainfall is destroying crops in other areas, does this happen in your countries as well?, Is it due to climate changes?
